My understanding is the centers can not be made of carbon fiber due to heat generated by the brakes, thats why dymag have mag centers.

 

it's made by wedsports,
introduced during this year's tokyo auto salon.

 

Hey Seung, do you live in Omotesando? I was there last week visiting the temple in Harajuku. I tried to get some ramen at that famous place (can't remember the name), but it was too busy.

 

I think 6 lbs is impossible.......16 is incredible!

 

i wonder how those dymags would look on mine:

 

Remember a set of lug nuts weigh more than 6lbs.

 

better pictures from their official site...

their claimed weight is 2.7 kg...
2.7 kg is 5.9 pounds.

my nonbeliever friends, stick with your dymags.
but i'm going with this one.

 

guys i believe it, the reason dymags weight is 16lbs is due to the face i have taken dymags apart and the barrels weight was 2lbs ...so if this wheel is full carbon even the face it can weigh 6lbs its not impossible ..i just sent them an email to see target pricing and specs ...

 

How much $?

 

Based on this, the dymags should be far superior to a metal rim of the same weight due to the weight distribution advantage of only having 2 lbs at the periphery.

 

with that dry carbon project, i thought the center had to be magnesium to deal with the heat from the brakes

 

thats what i was asking my self too ....thats why i really wanna see whats up , it sounds to awsome to be true ..lol..

 

If you look closely at the first photo Seung posted, the wheel on the right is sitting on a scale which reads "2.76" (presumably) kilograms. That is just sick.

 

I could never justify that $$ Unless I had 10+ in the bank lol

 

Weds has been making badass wheels since the early 80's in Japan - wouldn't surprise me that these were legitimately 6lbs....insane.
